Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 Mandarin Duck Handkerchief

The willows in the new town under the blue sky are just right. The green thin leaves are hanging down in rows. The scene here is completely different from that of the Demon Realm. After Ye Duhong sold the ghost skins and ghost tendons, he took the money to the street to buy something to eat. He had seen the pancakes sold at the stall before, and hoped that one day he could eat the hot pancakes in a good mood. At this time, full of joy, he came to the baked cakes stall and looked at the baked cakes in front of him. The baked cakes were turned over by a big brother. The skin of the baked cakes was yellow and yellow.

The eldest brother asked Ye Duhong how many pancakes he wanted, and Ye Duhong said three. The eldest brother quickly packed the three pancakes in white plastic bags and handed them to Ye Duhong. After Ye Duhong took the pancakes, he gave the change in his hand to the big brother. The eldest brother started to count as soon as he saw so much change. When he found that it was not enough, he told Ye Duhong that the money was not enough. Ye Duhong just counted it,and the change was just right. In fact, Ye Duhong later discovered that there were two very small coins in his pocket. It turned out that Ye Duhong carefully counted the money required for the three pancakes, held the money tightly in his hands, and waited for the pancakes in front of the stall, then put the money in his pocket subconsciously. When he took over the three pancakes from the stall owner, Ye Duhong took out the money in his pocket. At the moment when he took out the money, two very small coins fell into the pocket from the coin purse. Ye Duhong thought there was enough money, but in fact there were two small pieces of money missing. When the stall owner says that the money is not enough, he still does not believe it. He insists that the stall owner is lying and deceiving. If Ye Duhong is a eloquent and competitive person, he will definitely quarrel with the stall owner. If he is a irritable and troublesome person, and is likely to fight with the stall owner, but nothing happens, because Ye Duhong is an incompetent person.

Huaer came over from the side and gave the stall owner some money, which helped Ye Duhong out of the siege. Ye Duhong didn't even have a word of thanks. It's not that he didn't have gratitude in his heart, but that he couldn't say it in his mouth.

Because of buying pancakes, Ye Duhong fell into deeper depression. He was criticized by the big brother who sold pancakes, and his heart seemed to be filled with dough bumps.

Ye Duhong was hungry, so he took out the pancake to eat. When he was about to finish eating a pancake, Ye Duhong saw a man sitting on the ground, thin and holding his head, crying. Ye Duhong said to the man, "you guy, I'm eating cakes here. Why are you crying?" The man heard Ye Duhong's words, raised his head in dissatisfaction, and cried to Ye Duhong. The man told him painful memories. Ye Duhong learned that the man had lost her husband. Why do we say that? Not long ago, the man's husband left him, saying that he wanted to go to the devil's land to harvest ghost skins and make a fortune. There was no news for three months, which made the man wait so hard. Ye Duhong asked the man, what does your husband look like? Seeing Ye Duhong's sincere expression, the man told him in detail his husband's appearance. When the man finished talking about his husband's appearance, Ye Duhong realized suddenly that the man who had been burned off his chest and abdomen in the Demon Realm was the husband of the man in front of him. Ah, such a thing happened in the world. It's incredible. Ye Duhong did not want to make the man in front of him sad, and intentionally concealed the facts, so he comforted the man, saying, "Don't be sad, there are plenty of fish in the sea. He has gone so long, you can find another one."

The man sitting on the ground suddenly looked extremely serious. He took a white handkerchief out of his arms and unfolded it, with a plum tree embroidered on it, and a deer under it. The man sincerely told Ye Duhong,"You know, this handkerchief was made by my husband and I, and I knitted the handkerchief. The plum and deer on the handkerchief were embroidered by the husband. Look at the back."The man turned the handkerchief. Reveal the back for Ye Duhong to see, Ye Duhong sees the word"sika deer".

The man explained:"A deer looks at plum blossoms. It likes plum blossoms. Of course plum blossoms also look at deer, and of course they also like deer. What a beautiful painting this is. It symbolizes us both. I am the little deer below. He is this plum blossom. We love each other forever and ever."

Ye Duhong saw the man's sincere eyes, understood the innocent love between the two men, and thought that paper could not cover the fire. It is better to have a short pain than to have a long pain. Just tell him the truth.

Ye Duhong sighed and told the man,"When I was in the Demon Realm, I saw smoke rising, and when I rushed to the place where the smoke rose, I saw a man. He died miserably, burning his chest and abdomen. His face showed a terrified expression, his eyes were open, this dead man is your husband."

The man on the ground heard Ye Duhong's words and cried sadly, how sad he was, tears fell down, and he reached for a sika deer handkerchief to wipe it. The handkerchief was so wet with tears that it could almost drip water.

Ye Duhong consoled a few words and moved forward, eating pancakes while walking. There was another cry at the corner. The voice was gentle and soft. When he heard it,he could tell it was a woman crying. Ye Duhong walked in three or two steps and asked the woman why she was crying. The woman told Ye Duhong, "I have a wife who was encouraged to go to the devil's land to get ghost skin two months ago. I heard that selling ghost skins is very profitable. She went away with confidence, but two months later, there was no sign of her. I am really worried about her, for her to pinch a sweat."When Ye Duhong heard "pinch a sweat", he pinched the pancake and took a bite, while chewing while listening to the woman continue to tell her story. "My wife is a kind-hearted person who doesn't even kill a cockroach on weekdays. But who knows that now the world is declining, many people go to the demon domain to catch ghosts, not all by the temptation of money? You think about it,there are so many people there. How many people have got the ghost skin, and how many people will come back alive? If not a hero, he died early in the Demon Realm." The woman said of"dead in the Demon Realm", thinking of her wife still in the Demon Realm, suddenly the heart filled with glass slag, and the pain was unbearable, "Wow" cried. Ye Duhong was suddenly frightened, and the pancake couldn't be swallowed in his throat. Ye Duhong hit his chest with his fists, and felt better after a while.

The woman took out a handkerchief with two mandarin ducks embroidered on it. She told Ye Duhong about the goodness of her wife. Ye Duhong could see her tangle, gave her a pancake as a comfort, and then left.

When he came to a toy stall, the shopkeeper stopped Ye Duhong and introduced the toys to him. Looking at these toys, a stack of handkerchiefs was particularly obvious. Ye Duhong picked up a handkerchief and listened to the owner's introduction of the handkerchief. This handkerchief is couple's handkerchief, with sika deer, with mandarin ducks, with clear sky and snow, with flowers and stones, with insects and grasses, with fish and leaves, with different shapes and different embroidery. Ye Duhong looked for a long time, but did not buy one. Why buy these?
